Install Anki
Install system-wide gtk theme

Expected behavior Theme is applied.

I switched the package to this one to update the version 2.1.15 -> 2.1.44: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-21.05/pkgs/games/anki/bin.nix#L31

The problem persits.

This might be fixed by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/221229

Want to test?

That said, anki is a qt application, so theming might require some qt configuration too. Do other qt applications theme correctly for you?

IIRC, Anki uses a lot of webviews for its UI so even if the GTK/Qt theme is working, only a small portion of the UI will be themed. I think the only way to properly theme it is to use plugins.

This is based on my experience on Arch, since GTK/Qt theme is currently not working on NixOS for me (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/244895)

NixOS / nixpkgs
